Frozen raspberries cool down hot oatmeal
Alisa's hack will put a dent in your frozen berry stash:
My 16-month-old daughter loves oatmeal for breakfast. But she's really impatient - I make the real deal, which takes a whole ... what, five minutes to prepare? Add 'cooling off' time, and she's screetching in my ear before I've even had coffee. My solution (which I discovered by accident) is to add frozen raspberries to the hot oatmeal. They not only add sweetness, but cool the bowl down immediately -- after I stir them in and mash them a little. Bonus: the hot oatmeal defrosts the raspberries, too. [And the oatmeal turns pink! If your kid's not a berry fan, my old friend Judie suggests adding an ice cube. Same effect with no flavor. -- Ed]
